The truth is, he saw a potential for a big sexy story if Wie gets disqualified. However, unless he waits over a day to mention it, then no one cares. So this asshole decided he would wait untill Wie signed her scorecard before approaching tourney officials in the hopes of seeing her disqualified for a nice headline story.
I understand Wie should have been more careful, I get that. I have no problem with reporters asking the tough questions, thats their job. I even dont have a problem with him approaching tourney officials about this. However, when he sits on this untill right after she entered the clubhouse in the hopes of creating a story to write, that treads into the realm of the unethical.

Why would any reporter want to draw attention to himself in a story HE is going to write? Sure, it would be a sexy story, but no sexier than a 16-year old girl finishing in the top five in her first tournament as a pro.
I guarentee you Bramberger is embarrassed as hell that as a reporter he was the source of a major story, and not the author of it. As far as creating the story, I'll bet you the same bridge you want to sell me that IF SI runs a story, Brandenberg is not the author.
